they are NOT realistic. They just mimic realistic numbers and tables. Thats all. If the numbers would be really realistic the Tiger should have no issue to destroy the T34 of sherman even on max distance. Yet in MoW it does sometimes. Hell even the Panzer IV for example could crack the hull of the T34/85 from almost 2000m in any direction. In MoW you will see quite some richochets. Its obvious that some tweaks have been done for the sake of gameplay (I doubt most allied nations would have a nice day with realistic penetration numbers and ranges). The game might show some great details and a somewhat a complex damage model. But I dont think its fair to call it realistic as I think the word realistic should be more left to games trying to be a simulation. And MoW is not a simulation.
